Deutsche Bank flags ‘suspicious transactions’ tied to Kushners

A bank account tied to US President Donald Trump’s son-in-law and aide Jared Kushner has been flagged by officials at Deutsche Bank for “suspicious transactions”, according to a report.

Officials at the German bank told Manager Magazin, as reported by English-language outlets, that a review of company accounts related to the Kushner family was sent to a German bank regulator for further investigation. Information may also be released to special counsel Robert Mueller’s federal probe, The Hill reported.

The report is unclear as to the details of the “suspicious transactions,” which may not directly involve Jared Kushner.

Kushner’s lawyer Abbe Lowell did not respond to Mother Jones, which translated the German report.

In December, it was reported that officials at the US attorney’s office in the Eastern District of New York had subpoenaed the bank for records relating to Kushner, but there was no sign it was related to the Mueller probe.

However, Mueller has reportedly scrutinized Trump’s financial transactions at the bank.
